1. Read this post.

I guess it’s official: FileMaker doesn’t give a hoot about such details. Yeah, yeah, I know, my selection colour is not the standard pale blue. It’s a darker shade of green. So what? Mac OS X fully supports proper font smoothing even over dark backgrounds. The proof is that it works just fine in FileMaker’s own text fields. It just doesn’t work properly in FileMaker’s pop-up lists. Why? Because FileMaker doesn’t care. They have adopted Microsoft as a role model: As long as it looks like the application supports Mac OS X features, it is good enough.

Some role model that they have chosen here.
